Long story short. . .my fireplace is abnormally huge and so is our TV. In design, to me it's all about balance. My family room hasn't been balanced since we moved in 5 years back no matter how many times I've rearranged furniture.
This picture is just to show how the fireplace looks. This room actually has already been overhauled. . .wood floors, different furniture, rearranged, etc.
Now this is my plan to change. I know they say the TV shouldn't be the FOCUS of a room but how unpractical is that!? Sure it could be covered but why waste my money on doors that will never be closed. I say, "So what!" Let the TV be my focus with the fireplace. I just want balance and use of a currently useless wall.The illustration doesn't show everything well because most was done in pencil and various cutouts (hence the crooked TV), but there would be the same cabinetry on both sides. This is drawn to scale.
Master Plan:

or TV "B":.jpg)
I just hope I can really have what I've created in my mind. That's still in process. I'm too scared to attempt myself.

A lot of homes here have their TV right above their fireplace. The thing I would check is how high are you going to have your neck cranked up in order to see. For some people it works for others it doesn't. The cabinetry is a really good idea. That way there is a 'place' for everything. Good luck on your project!
